If you liked the look of Samsungs living room-filling 105-inch curved screen ultra-high-definition television set but were put off by its $120,000 asking price, theres good news. Thanks to the sheer size of the screen it boasts 11 million pixels, so technically speaking its a 5K, not a 4K set (as it has five times the number of pixels found in a HD TV screen), something LG is very quick to point out. It also comes with a specially designed sound system co-developed by premium audio brand Harman Kardon so the listening experience should be as immersive as the viewing — with an aspect ratio of 21:9, LG claims it is the same as that of a multiplex cinema screen. The vision behind LGs 105-inch 21:9 Curved Ultra HD TV was to bring the movie theater into the living room, said In-kyu Lee, senior vice president and head of the TV Division at LGs Home Entertainment Company.
